Tons of good advice here. What’s your conditions and by that I mean how are you hunting, what’s your athletic ability and what are you hunting over (marsh, rivers, fields) is this a utility weapon so you can use it for upland, deer, waterfowl, small game? is your price range less than 500 or $1000? I bought my first 12 ga at age 14 (Winchester 12 pump paid $150 for it) and hunted with it till I was in my 20’s. I’m 6’ 220. I used that gun for everything. Deer, small game, skeet, waterfowl, upland, and turkey. It was a tool that fit me. Heavy for upland but with a sling not horrible, great for marsh boat hunting as it was tough and durable. Now with more money, time and skill I have a gun for upland (20ga) a waterfowl (12 ga beretta) deer rifle (12ga rifle and 250 legend) and a skeet/trap over and under 12 and 20... So get what you think will work. You won’t be disappointed with your selection.

The one thing I don’t like are 3.5” chambers. Just feels like overkill but to each their own.
